First of all, it makes religion look bad, which MUST be counter to their entire purpose.

There have been multiple calls here in the US for moderate Muslims to raise their hands and reform the community from within. Yet, when some people attempt to do so, to build a community centre to help those who would take the pain in their life and turn it into anger and hate, they end up in the middle of a horrible bigotedMonkey McWearingChapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01159146850159129520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624110.post-62392994258126375212010-08-16T13:45:46.963-05:002010-08-16T13:45:46.963-05:00Its ignorance like this you mentioned that keeps p...Its ignorance like this you mentioned that keeps people from truly understanding each other and attaining peace. <br /><br />Now, is that a real cat?!?!?
